The same standards and expectations that apparently applied to Julia Gillard ought to also apply here, no question! And in that case the alleged romance was over a decade old! Whereas in the current case for Gladys, hardly has the ink dried.

I'm not saying she has done anything wrong. But in any other workplace a romance between the CEO and a junior rank would have had legal reprecussions! Such as the required resignation of the CEO?

Be that as it may and that Gladys is a competent leader, she has exhibited lack of judgement?

That said, when the dust has settled and the political stosh has ended, personally, I'd give her a second chance and explain that in future, romance ought to be qualified by marriage! Even if, only for appearances. It just cannot look bad!

In summation, in the interest of even-handed fairness, let the people decide if she should go or stay! Not the conga line of patent polital enemies!

On this occasion, absolutely right on, Paul.

See her new and nauseating self-defence, as peddled to yesterday's Tele. Our Glad has "given up on love" and has "always put her job first, and that will now continue indefinitely". You will pardon me, if I throw up.

Steve S,

Spot on.

It's all starting to look like a sordid episode out of some TV soap box opera akin to 'The Bold and the Beautiful'.

She must go. The longer she lingers the worse she starts to smell.

anyone who does dirty deals in order to pass laws to murder unborn babies up to death does not deserve to govern. They should be in prison. Who she sleeps with I could not care less but its obvious now why she was so morally compromised. Pity really as she is ten times more competent than Andrews (who by his own manslaughter laws should be in prison) and Anna and her bunch of corrupt crooks. What a sad state our nation is in when this is the best we can do.

The rum rebellion, smh 12 years ago,

*...The traffic in rum was of little significance, except to some of the non-commissioned officers. Much more important was the conflict between real estate developers and the public interest over the exploitation of prime urban land near the water. Nothing could be more "Sydney" than this...*

Nothing has changed!

That is NSW Politics. And updated again with another sordid disclosure by the same news source. A $M240 slush fund distributed to local governments prior to the last election of our Glady. No paperwork, all distributed to key LNP electorates with email approval. Just another copy of the whiteboard affair.

The only thing that changes in NSW politics is sox, underwear and bedroom antics apparently.

Dan

diver dan,

It's easy to see why I think politicians, bureaucrats and business people are dishonest and untrustworthy.

But how do we get rid of these low-life scumbags and replace them with honest and trustworthy people ............ :-) like me.
